Pop quiz: Ace our eGaN FET quiz, win a textbook by the eGaN uber guru

October 16, 2014 By Lee Teschler

Question two

Still referring to the buck converter, assume VIN=12 V, VOUT=1.2 V, IOUT=20 A, fsw=1 MHz. If the Td(on)=Td(off)= 20 ns, calculate the both eGaN FET and MOSFET body diode power loss. Again, both operate at room temperature (25 C).
